After 17 years, GTA San Andreas is reborn…again
It’s hard to beat an open world title like GTA: San Andreas to bring the next generation of VR video games. What’s more, it should be remembered that the title is a perfect candidate for a headset that does not have unlimited power: Released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2, GTA: San Andreas today blows out 17 candles – nothing more than polygons of its cars and other characters. The title will also be included in the final version that Rockstar Games would like to release to add a piece to it Great Nostalgia ATM Machine, with revamped graphics.
In any case, the controls should be adapted with a helmet oriented with body movements and controllers that are very different from what we found on PlayStation and on the platforms on which GTA: San Andreas was later launched. It is also impossible to imagine that the port is a third-person game, such as GTAs: Immersive Spectacle that will pass through the incarnation of the first person, FPS format, which will also require work on the entire game.
It remains to be seen if it will be released before or after GTA VI.
